THIS BREAD IS BANANAS!

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chunk-Banana Walnut Bread, anyone?

Because really, what better combo of flavors are there? This is my go-to dessert and the Best. Thing. I. Ever. Made. It’s 100% Plant Based, dairy-free with zero added sugars or oils! Every ingredient is a natural whole food, making it a healthy dessert that I am eager to give to my kids (and beyond eager to eat myself)! It’s also really fun to make altogether with the family and since this “cake” is dad’s absolute favorite, we surprised him with it for Father’s day. The only problem is how fast the kids and I devour it!
